Hello. My name is Martha Silverspring. I am 51 years old this February. I had

open-incision RNY at Kaiser South San Francisco on 9/30/2002. At 148#, I'm

pretty much at my estimated goal weight and still losing a bit-- will probably

end up at 140. When I started I was 276. My top weight was 285.

I have had very few problems, despite a few bouts with 'chickenitis' and

transient obstructions.

I'm an RN x 20 years (mostly oncology). I do home IV nursing part-time, and

technical writing full time for a medical equipment company. I'm interested in

this group because I'd like to know/hear from more seasoned post-ops.

Thanks.

Martha
